Nothing to do with players, it's the clubs and agents.
No it doesn't.
It sounds like transfers are being held up by the world cup (as we expected) and the new transfer window rules (as we expected). We hadn't signed anyone by this point last season.
We have a manager and chairman who have their transfer targets sorted and know who they want and how much they cost. Deals are already agreed in principle.
Get some perspective.
I see what your saying but put it like this, KR already knew about the world cup and the transfer window issues at the beginning, he didn't bring those up when he is saying that he wants everything wrapped up early.
Yes he has (had) his list of targets, but you cant convince me all of those are delayed because of the loan window and the world cup.
But look at the facts, he stated get things wrapped up early, he has his list but we have one (new) signing.
Statements start coming out like we are not going to be breaking the bank, then the Arsenal Manager changing, now the world cup etc.
That to me sounds like things have changed behind the scenes.
One thing is for sure, they should have had a good player (Striker) signing before yesterdays ST deadline and for that not to happen tells me its not going as planned.
I hope I am wrong and that we get the players in we need but premier youth is not the answer, anyways I renewed my ST like I always do, blind faith.
